The Santa Trike




When I first spoke to Sam and Darlene Jones in Feb 2008 about converting their Harley to a trike, I new this was going to be a special project.

The Joneses spend their holidays at many special functions that benefit local charities with Sam playing the role of Santa Claus while Darlene, her sister, and other friends and family join in as Santa's Helpers.

Sam's Harley had always been an important part of the holiday program, with kids anxious to see Santa on his motorcycle. As part of the conversion project, Sam and Darlene decided to repaint the bike in a "Santa's Ride" theme with work done by Ed Webster in Ruckersville, Virginia.

We converted the bike in mid-summer and sent it to Ed in September. Over the course of the next couple of months, Ed completely transformed the trike into a spectacular custom ride with dozens of elements of hand-drawn, air-brushed art works.

These pictures are from a local Southern Maryland newspaper. I hope to have more pictures from Ed Webster that show the work in more detail. All-in-all, a great looking ride for a jolly old elf.
